University of Darmstadt, Petersenstrasse 22, D-64287 Darmstadt, Germany 10.3762/bjoc.6.60 Abstract We report the radical initiated homopolymerization of a soluble vinylferrocene cyclodextrin-complex in water. Uncomplexed vinylferrocene 1 and the corresponding homopolymer are hydrophobic and completely

Since its discovery in 1951, ferrocene [1] and its derivatives and their applications have been the subject of
numerous papers [2][3][4][5][6][7]. One derivative, vinylferrocene 1, is of particular interest because of its anionic and radical polymerization behavior [8][9][10][11][12]. Due to its electrical semiconductivity properties the polymer of 1 has several practical applications. It is mainly used in
